HiredGun,
I forgot to get back on this thread to thank you for the answer about Pierce Titanium actions. I purchased the lightened long action. With no trigger it weighs exactly 20.0 ounces on the postal scale. I have a 26" 6.5mm Christensen Arms carbon wrap that will weigh approximately 42 ounces when threaded and chambered. The MPI stock weighs 20 ounces, but it is still in the rough. I mean no barrel channel, no recoil pad, on inletting. It has the Weatherby cheek piece and Remington ADL magazine.
Officially, thanks.
